More About the Author
Dr. Michael J. Downey stumbled into teaching by accident. A friend needed help in a classroom on a Wednesday morning for a couple of weeks. After completing a teaching degree Michael taught highschool and then for 15 years was Assistant Principal in all girls, all boys and Co-ed schools. He now works as a consultant with teachers and others interested in ongoing formation. His research found that when people develop reflective practices, they nourish and sustain their vocational spirit, rather than burn out. Michael works in Australia and the USA.
